...very patient, empathetic, and thorough, and I believe that a friendly and calm environment is best for tutoring. So that the student can express any confusion or difficulties she or he may be facing and I can then show them the best way to work through it. I often tell my students that I love the phrase, “I don’t know how to…” because that is the best way to know how to improve. When I’m...

...own challenges when I learned new concepts, and I try to draw on those to anticipate problems that my students may have. Whatever challenges you may face, I will happily and patiently work with you to solve them; if we can't resolve them in one session, I will research tools to help for the next session. It gives me pleasure to see students succeed, and I hope that I will be able to help you...

...work relentlessly to obtain results. Over the past five years, I have acquired essential skills and experiences while teaching in secondary schools as well as at the college level, so I know how to challenge students effectively while providing the support they need to succeed.

...ages, I know how to convey complex concepts in accessible terms, and my exceptional patience enables me to deduce and utilize the learning styles of individual students. Having always found classroom and standardized tests to be intuitive and learnable, I am able to impart testing strategies in addition to teaching textbook material. In my woefully limited spare time, I read extensively, dabble in creative writing, and translate my favorite Latin literature. I also keep abreast...

...hold the dubious of honor of having taken the most languages simultaneously in my high school's history (five), and won translation awards in college for my Latin and Ancient Greek work. I studied classical languages at New York University, and followed it through to a Master's Degree in Latin and Greek at Florida State University. My thesis paper explored the vocabulary of human sacrifice in Virgil's Aeneid, which was unfortunately not as interesting as you...

...and raised. I teach Latin and English and tutor mostly in these subjects as well. I have been tutoring since I was in graduate school for students of all levels and academic abilities. My first academic love is Latin and the Classics- I really enjoy helping others develop their skills with the language and gain an appreciation for the culture and history of Rome. In my spare time I love to travel, especially to Italy...

...Latin and Ancient Greek languages– language-learning is my favorite subject, and I have many tips and tricks to share. More generally, I’ve been through grad school, and I have experience in the tests and skills involved in getting through it all: the GRE, writing skills, reading comprehension. My aim in tutoring is to help students understand what the test-writers and professors are looking for when they give assignments or standardized exams, but my philosophy is...

Recently, I have also been catching up on classic works which I did not get a chance to read before, such as The Picture of Dorian Gray, Paradise Lost, and All Quiet on the Western...

My favorite subject to teach, though, remains the SAT: I love the satisfaction of beating the test at its own game, and I am always deeply gratified when my students go from cowering in terror at the name of standardized testing to whizzing through tough math sections with relish. I also love tutoring Latin and Greek, which are...

...Northwest. I believe that education is one of the most fundamental aspects of a society's wellbeing, and that it is the duty of those of us who have been graced with the advantages of a good education to give back in some way; one of my motivations for tutoring is to do my part in that way. In my free time, I love playing piano, running, riding my bike, and learning languages. My strongest academic...
